    It'd be a Sunday arvo probably. Hey, it's just a concept just now, life is busy. I'll get my head around it, and see what pans out.

    Filming is a good idea. We could do a fails compilation.

    Keep us posted. And glad I've got crash bungs on the thou. Could bring the street fighter thou, that's got a cage on it ha. But that would be cheating with it's wide bar. Clip-on seems like the better challenge.

    Sad indictment of some people that choose to vomit negativity all over a positive-topic thread,

    Update

    I've now completed the CBTA 6F route I've been planning today.

    For some reason it includes 17 U-turns, and a full circle with one hand.

    I'll submit it to NZTA and see if they are okay with it.

    Peace, out.

    Sounds like the Auckland CBD Triathlon course... usually had 2-3 u-turns per cycle/run course. Factor in the laps, multiple races, some of us were doing 50+ u-turns in a day, most 2-up.

    Just when you got comfortable all the pretty girls came out cheering...

    Sounds like your CBTA 6R route Pete would it be cheating if I took the WR on this potential slow course?

    I recall, it's the only WR I've seen.

    It's disappointing how few people have the kahunas to do a u turn. It's easy, Safe and convenient, if done properly.

    Absolutely!
    Just a shame that they don't put trials on TV like they used to do years ago. Great watching and probably even more fun "doing".

    Not necessarily always a lack of kahunas rastuscat, some riders may have old injuries like lets say whiplash or some other neck or spinal injury preventing the ability to turn the head or even the body around as much as others and possibly are reluctant to trust their safety entirely on the mirrors.

    But then we get into "should only fully fit able bodied riders be allowed to ride". lol
